This includes teachers and siblings.Īre you ready to get started? Download our convenient reading logs (or use our iPhone App or Android App) and our recommended reading list: If you are able to, make sure to keep a record of “any” book that is being read to your child. The journal itself will make a great keepsake item for your precious child. Make a record of what you are reading in a spiral notebook, online, or by whatever method you want.
If a program is not available where you live, join our program today. Most local programs already have a reward system built into place. When your child reaches a milestone, give him/her a small reward (stickers, backpacks, books). If you consider that most children start kindergarten at around 5 years of age, you have more time than you think (so get started). That is 730 books in two years and 1,095 books in three years. If you read just 1 book a night, you will have read about 365 books in a year. Does it sound hard? Not really if you think about it. The goal is to have read 1,000 books (yes you can repeat books) before your precious one starts kindergarten. Read a book (any book) to your newborn, infant, and/or toddler. The concept is simple, the rewards are priceless.
